Why would it matter if you wrote an article that could personally involve you, might get the wikipedia into trouble, and didnt cite your sources?
Oh, right, it would probably get deleted.
notice: parent is not off topic. Flame? maybe. troll? maybe. offtopic? not at all.
And on to my on topic comments.
Who are they ISPs to decide what we use their services for you might ask? Well, I say, they are the ones with the lines and the access, they can do what they want. They may not be offering their services as provided however - so you may have a lawsuit against them (or maybe it would be called something other than a lawsuit, dont bug me about proper terminology). Most ISPs however, probably have a clause in their contract saying "our services are subject to change at any time without warning."
However, if you stop using their services and move to an ISP with better terms, they might notice the loss of business (if a lot do it) and decide to change back. In any case, staying with them is not the way to accomplish anything. Without P2P what use is the internet? so you can talk to people, send email,s read wikipedia. Download wikipedia and start using a phone, and the ISPs can bugger off.
So maybe we should get some open source wires?
a murderer could deny police access to their premises because they would find a body in her freezer that would incriminate her
yes, actually, the "murderer" can deny the police access to their appartment. The police need a search warrent. I think.
It does for Canadians. If you dont have a health-care card, you're not going to get the treatment (unless it could have a bad impact - a broken arm is not lifethreatening). Still, it is weird he got no treatment for his arm. dont just blame the health care system however.
Furthermore, is it really a bad thing that he didnt get an xray on his head? could have bad effects on the brain.
If this article is about college...
The kids are paying for it. If they want to spend 4000 bucks on tuition to sit in a classroom and browse the internet, well...
The UN was not formed to allow countries to do what they want - even if they supply half the budget or whatever. It was formed so that countries could act together in times of need. I surely cannot see the US resigning from the UN and flexing their military might at other membercountries of the UN simply because they dispute who should control the internet.
And on another note, the US should not necessarily control the internet. It is used by many people around the world. Its not even like the US invented it, either...
Quebec isn't a country, either.
As a province, it doesn't have the right to charge any sort of taxes except sales tax on things you purchase. which doesn't give it enough money to pay for the education system.
FF doesnt fail nearly as bad as IE. I just did a side by side comparison - in FF, it has a mostly circular shape, and mostly yellow. in IE6, it shows a huge red bar along the bottom, with a couple patches of yellow/black
If you are thinking that two nuclear-powered cars colliding would create an explosion similar to that... or even something similiar to a hydrogen bomb... you're terribly wrong. Hydrogen bombs need tonnes of explosives surrounding the fusible material to compress it to begin a chain or fusion or whatever. The piddling velocities of two cars colliding could do nothing close to that.
If, on the other hand, you are speaking simply about spills of radioactive materials, then yes, it would be dangerous. But if so, your comparison to a truck full of explosives is completely off topic.
Right, since SARS was such a huge epidemic.
They're the ones who create the flu vaccines which you get injected with every year.
(personally, I trust my own immune system with being able to fight off any diseases that come to it. sure it can't take every disease, but it can handle the flu.)
You're somewhat right. I teach swimming, and I know for a fact that I sink without weights, and with a full breath of air - I can take a huge breath, and sinky until my head is just slightly underwater. If i take a smaller breath, i sink no problem. I don't need any lead weights.
One of your comments is most definately true. the one about the teachers that have less understanding of technology than the students. I am a student, taking some sort of a high school computer course. The teacher basically knows a couple programs and tries to force us to use them - microsoft frontpage, for example. I could write a better website - quicker - in notepad, than with the program she tries to get us to use. I would like to learn something in the course that I don't already know, but im not very hopeful.
A laptop isn't a server. Imagine, you take on a suitcase, and your 5 friends hook their laptops up to your suitcase for some quick LAN gaming on the plane!
Why is this in the Apple section?

MythTV 0.17 Released

I agree, frontend support for the mac was one of the bigger changes, but... it still will not record tv shows on a mac. it can only be used to watch already-recorded shows. Which is not much different than a video player, which is not the only function of MythTV
Just FYI, he didn't record the part as an audition to be in the series, nor was that essentially what he did. He did the audiotapes of all the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy books, and the radio series editors cut and pasted him reading the agrajag parts into the radio series.
Untrue. Before suprnova shut down, they had a specific section in their message board about eXeem, and it was the most official place for news on eXeem. All of the beta.exe's were hosted on suprnova servers.
Although, I guess you are telling the truth in a way, because since it came out of closed beta, it has its own site, etc.
I thought that they were going to keep spyware/adware in all versions of this - to make some money off it. They used to have paypal donations accepted on suprnova.org, but they recieved something like $400 over the course of a year. At least with spyware they'll make money consistenty.
Not that I mind, I hadn't installed exeem specifically becasue of the spyware and adware.

or pokemon stadium 2, it was also 512Mb aka 64 megabyte.

haha... you impliead that people get punished every time they vandalize :)
not that they shouldn't, but i know for a fact that they dont.
I don't think it getting funding from a US company makes it done less by Canadians than if it recieved funding from a company from, say, france.
that said, you're right, it isn't quite done by canadians.

you should never link to a PDF file without warning! :)

How did you post this huge comment and still manage to get first post? im impressed.

the legal part of it may be untapped. but there are certainly enough illegal movie downloads to make pay-per-download unnecessary.

Does EMP stand for Electro-Magnetic Pulse? If that's the case, "EMP pulse" does not need the extra "pulse" on the end. :)
